As you can see, it’s not all sunshine in the Southern Aegean. In fact, it’s raining this morning, and it looks like it will be here all day. It was cloudy yesterday and a little drizzly at times, and there was an earthquake near Lesvos, not that that has anything to do with the weather.
That was when I was out on a walk yesterday, just a short wander around the village to keep the joints moving. There will be more walking on Friday when in Rhodes. It’s so much easier to go everywhere on foot there, compared to here where there are so many ups and downs. I can quite easily walk six or seven miles during the day when in Rhodes. If I did that here, I’d be over halfway to Panormitis, or in the sea, depending on which way I went, and it would take twice as long because of the steps. Talking of steps, Neil carried the other Christmas present chair home the other night…
Also, when it’s wet, we tend not to go out onto the balcony, so the balcony photos like this one below are taken through the window. More cloud from yesterday, and beneath it, the Blue Star coming in early one Friday morning. I know it was Friday because, at the moment, it comes in before dawn on a Monday and Wednesday. Apart from the Stavros coming in, the patrol and fishing boats, that’s about as exciting as the view gets at this time of year, and what a lovely view it is.
I can’t think what else to tell you… (thinks). Yes I can: Visited the Chinese shop yesterday for a jumper that didn’t fit, said hello to Mr Chan who’s probably not called Mr Chan at all, but that’s what the locals call him so… Taverna Zoi is after a waiter for the summer, other businesses are hiring too – both godsons have already secured summer employment, which is good news for them as they can save for a trip we’re planning for later in the year, and I did some touch-up work on the tinier pieces of the Titanic model ahead of the next build session tomorrow. That, dear reader, is my news for the day.
